The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. If a deal is not reached before that time, Roussel and the team will meet in Toronto where a third party arbitrator will hear arguments before ruling on a salary amount.

Roussel, 24, is coming off a two-year contract that paid him $1.225 million. He scored 14 goals with 29 points last season.
